Therefore, the first hook 322 can hook the first cylindrical spring very conveniently, which is beneficial to keeping the stability of the position between the first cylindrical spring and the first sleeve; the second hook can be used for conveniently hooking the second cylindrical spring, so that the stability of the position between the second cylindrical spring and the second sleeve is maintained.
In one embodiment, the number of the first hooks is three, so that the first cylindrical spring is hooked more firmly. In one embodiment, the number of the second hooks is three, so that the second cylindrical spring is hooked more firmly.
In one embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a first concave cavity 12, and the first sleeve is inserted into the first concave cavity 12; the side wall of the first concave cavity 12 is provided with a first clamping groove 323, and the outer side wall of the first sleeve is provided with a first positioning table 324 clamped in the first clamping groove 323; the seat body 1 is provided with a second concave cavity, and the second sleeve is inserted into the second concave cavity; the side wall of the second concave cavity is provided with a second clamping groove, and the outer side wall of the second sleeve is provided with a second positioning table clamped into the second clamping groove. Thus, after the first sleeve is inserted into the first concave cavity 12, the first positioning table 324 on the outer side wall of the first sleeve body can be clamped into the first clamping groove 323 for positioning; after the second sleeve is inserted into the second concave cavity, a second positioning table on the outer side wall of the second cylinder body can be clamped into the second clamping groove for positioning.
In one embodiment, the first positioning stage is in the shape of a scalloped cylinder. In one embodiment, the first card slot 323 is a scalloped cylindrical slot. In one embodiment, the second positioning stage is in the shape of a scalloped cylinder. In one embodiment, the second card slot is a scalloped cylindrical slot.
In one embodiment, the first sleeve is an interference fit when inserted within the first cavity 12. In one embodiment, the second sleeve is an interference fit when inserted within the second cavity.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the invention.
